"Witnesses reported that the truck was traveling at a high rate of speed before colliding into a power pole, causing the pole to fall and a transformer to explode, thus igniting the Calabasas fire,” said Deputy Sheriff Jeffrey A. Gordon.

Coincidentally, Drake also lives in County Of Calabasas, along with a number of famous faces including Kanye West and The Kardashian family.

Kylie Jenner covered the event on her Snapchat:

Around 5,000 people were ordered to evacuate their homes in the local area.

However there is currently no news about whether their properties were affected.
